Abstract
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is promulgating regulations for application to the Columbia River Fishing Access Sites. The current regulations in part 248 do not apply to these new fishing sites which are being transferred to the Bureau from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This proposed rule gives the Bureau the authority to manage and maintain these fishing sites for tribal fishermen. Part 248 is still required for the maintenance of the in-lieu fishing sites.
